I think they will do a Direct at the end of June or somewhere in July or August. The thing is, I think they are basically done for the year, announcement's-wise. Metroid Prime 4 definitely will be a Switch 2 title, same with Zelda (that could be a dual-release though, Switch and Switch 2 version) and at this point Bayonetta 3 could also be a Switch 2 title. Only leaves Mario+Rabbids 2 for this year, so that could be the focus of a Direct.
The only thing that would give me hope of a Direct next week is if Microsoft doesn't announce Goldeneye tomorrow. That game is "worst kept secret" territory but Microsoft may feel Nintendo deserves the initial announcement given the nature of the original game.
@Grumblevolcano If Microsoft were going to announce any collaboration with Nintendo (like for Goldeneye) then I would have thought it would make sense to tell Switch owners to tune in lol.

@GrailUK Do you remember when they actually did something similar to that back at E3 2019? During the Xbox showcase, there was a graph that had the events where news relating to Xbox would be shown. The E3 2019 Direct was on that list as well and what just so happened to be revealed at that Direct? Banjo in Smash. I wish I could remember where that graph was but I vividly remember it from when the hype was kicking off.

I don't even care with Microsoft attempts unless they want to release again Kinect games on XBOX Series X, I will eat my words again.
But I guess it will not happen, Microsoft hate making kids games. I can tell you they hate kids / family games by stopping the support of Kinect games. You can say Kinect games are nightmare but I like Kinect games from XBOX 360 era and not everyone like shooter games.

@GrailUK I'll tell you something: after playing the original on NSO, I've been converted to BK. Great vibrant worlds, fantastic wittiness, iconic music supplemented with some pretty fun platforming that constantly gets expanded throughout the game. I'd be more than down for a new BK game (that isn't you know what).

@Giancarlothomaz Who out of everyone M$ has bought would be a good fit for Banjo. (Rare said someone who knew what they were doing would have to do it lol.)

Honestly, I still baffled with Banjo XBOX 360 gameplay like what the heck is the objection from that game.
Even I still baffled by other 1st party XBOX games such as Blinx games and Viva Pinata games. Microsoft just made it very convoluted to understand the gameplay.
@Fizza If it happens I could see it being a Rare Replay PC port with the 360 games in the collection (the Banjo remasters, Perfect Dark remaster, Perfect Dark Zero, Banjo Nuts & Bolts, Kameo, Jetpac Refuelled, the Viva Pinata games) rather than separate download like they are on Xbox. The list of XB1 1st party games not on PC are:
Rare Replay
Halo 5
A few delisted Forza games (Forza Motorsport 5, Forza Horizon 2)
A bunch of Kinect games
The delisted Forza games will never come due to licensing (the reason they're delisted on Xbox) and the Kinect games will never come because of Kinect functionality but Rare Replay and Halo 5 seems possible.
@Fizza BK was brilliant on the N64. I liked the sequel too despite it not being quite as good. Banjo-Kazooie coming back would be great (on paper of course.)

@Giancarlothomaz Double Fine eh? Intriguing stuff. I'd definitely be interested as to whether they could capture the cartoon-esque cheerfulness of BK since their own main platforming series is very much a dark twist on the genre. They're games are wonderful though so we'd have to wait and see.

I must say, people seem to be much calmer than I would have expected about the possible (apparent?) lack of a June/E3 Direct. Granted, NCL has announced a fair docket of games for this year as is, and are even holding a fairly significant one in reserve (Advance Wars), but the "all-industry June event" Direct tends to be a little showier than all the others, and we've all been primed for it over the years. I myself am a little disappointed...
@CANOEberry are you sure? i watched a lot of videos, showing prediction and when the next Nintendo Direct could be(they think Nintendo will show Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2, maybe a teaser for Metroid Prime 4, Twilight Princess HD/Wind Waker HD anounced for Switch, and the next Nintendo Direct coming next week).
